Cars, Coffee, and the Existential Dread of the Weekend
It’s a strange thing to willingly wake up before sunrise on a weekend in Los Angeles. Stranger still to do it not for work or for wellness—but for the unspoken communion of coffee, rubber, and tailpipes.
These are not events so much as scenes. Little pockets of identity stitched into parking lots across Southern California. The caffeine is rarely good. The conversation is occasionally great. The cars—well, they tend to speak for themselves.
1. Cars and Coffee Los Angeles – Griffith Park
Location: 4730 Crystal Springs Dr, Los Angeles
Time: Last Sunday of the month, 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
If Wes Anderson shot The Fast and the Furious, it would look like this. Griffith Park is where car design meets urban myth. Everyone shows up with a story—whether it's about a 928 they sold too early or a Civic they turbo’d into oblivion. Expect analog film shooters, soft light, and a kind of cinematic quietness between revs.
2. South OC Cars and Coffee – San Clemente
Location: 101W Avenida Vista Hermosa, San Clemente
Time: Every Saturday, 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
This is the Coachella of Cars and Coffee. Thousands of cars. High-gloss polish. Hypercars next to slammed Civics. It’s big, chaotic, and beautiful. No revving. No burnouts. Just lowkey flexing and proper tire shine.
3. Donut Derelicts – Huntington Beach
Location: Magnolia & Adams Ave, Huntington Beach
Time: Every Saturday, 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM
The original. Pre-social media. Pre-hashtag. This is the spiritual grandparent of all LA car meets. Classic rods. Good donuts. Loud shirts. Strong coffee. The type of event where you show up for the cars and stay for the war stories.
4. Supercar Sunday – Woodland Hills
Location: Pierce College Lot 7, 6201 Winnetka Ave, Woodland Hills
Time: Every Sunday, 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Modern supercars, themed weeks, fast arrivals, and faster exits. If you’re looking to see a McLaren Senna parked next to a Pro-Touring Camaro, this is your place. Wear sunglasses. Bring patience.
5. Classic Cars & Coffee – Bob’s Big Boy Northridge
Location: 8876 Corbin Ave, Northridge
Time: Every Sunday, 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Half nostalgia, half carburetor. The Bob’s Big Boy crowd keeps it cool and analog. It’s the kind of meet where you hear Sinatra playing from a dash and nobody’s being ironic.
6. Zuma Cars and Coffee – Redondo Beach
Location: 245 N. Harbor Dr., Redondo Beach
Time: First Sunday of the month, 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM
By the marina. Near the finish line of the Cannonball Run. Somehow breezier, saltier, slower. Everything you’d want in a coastal Sunday drive, minus the drive. Plus 500 parking spots.
7. Carcadia Cars & Coffee – Arcadia
Location: 733 West Naomi, Arcadia (Starbucks lot)
Time: Last Sunday of the month, from 7:00 AM
The suburb sleeper. Tidy. Polite. Sneaky impressive. If the Griffith Park crowd wears vintage Levi’s, the Carcadia crowd wears clean sneakers and knows where to get the good wax.
8. Odd Squad Car Club Coffee Cruise – Los Angeles
Location: 9829 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles
Time: Varies (Wednesdays/Sundays), 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM
The night shift. Part car show, part underground. No sunrise required. Expect LED halos, lowered suspensions, and a vaguely conspiratorial vibe. Not for early risers or soft suspensions.
Final Thoughts
Los Angeles doesn’t need an excuse to gather around cars. But the ritual of Cars and Coffee—whether it’s in the rising light of Griffith Park or the misty grit of Huntington Beach—offers something rare in this city: unfiltered joy, shared quietly. These aren’t just car meets. They’re micro-cultures, moving archives of SoCal’s ongoing love affair with speed, style, and showing up early.
See you in the lot. Bring a mug.
